Hi Peter,

over the years users tend to call it QLGT, but QLK is ok for me, too ;)

The wiki is a bit outdated. The map list has been split into three parts. As 
Helmut mentioned the default OSM online map is in the tab "Stream". If you 
happen to have maps of a raster format and you embed these maps via a *qmap 
file in QLGT they will show up in the tab "Raster". And if you load a Garmin 
vector map it will be listed in the tab "Vector".

Unzip the archive and select the file with the *tdb extension. Next you will be 
asked for a basemap. The naming convention varies. It's one of the *img files. 
Usually it has the same name as the *tdb file. Sometimes it's the *img file 
with the lowest or oddest number. 

Sometimes the boundaries of the map are a bit peculiar. Use the F3 key to 
center the map and the +/- key to zoom. Many OSM based maps have nothing on the 
basemap than the boundaries of the single *img files. In that case you will see 
just a few rectangles. Zoom into the map to see details.
